Vise-versa... hmmm.. OK... but your comment suggests that all the emplode generated data indexes will not be completely rebuilt when the HSX does a database rebuild?

Pointless? I can squeeze about 10Gb per day via USB -> empeg1. Thus I would need about 8-9 days for the initial load. I'm just trying to save this step and use a nice quiet HSX as an MP3 server instead of a noisy overloaded PC! :)

Thanks for your help.
